Chapter Thirteen: A Prayer Before Sleeping
"It is very difficult to add formations that can directly absorb energy from heaven and earth to energy crystals. Even the top formation masters on the mainland cannot create a few pieces in a month. There are many high-end magic weapons and equipment used in them.
, so the eternal energy crystals are basically in short supply, and you may not be able to buy them even if you reserve 15,000."
"What's the price of ordinary energy crystals?"
"Ordinary energy crystals are very cheap. You can buy one for 100 gold. Each crystal can be wound 3,000 times."
"What's the price of the crossbow arrow?"
"Ordinary crossbow arrows cost 1 gold and 80 pieces, and fine gold crossbow arrows cost 1 gold and 5 pieces."
"Adamantine crossbow arrows are so cheap? Is it true?"
"The fine gold crossbow arrow is only plated with a trace amount of fine gold on the surface. The process is simple and the dosage is very small, so the price is not expensive."
"How much more powerful is the adamantine crossbow arrow?"
"The power is basically the same, but after being plated with fine gold, the durability of the crossbow will be greatly improved, so the fine gold crossbow arrows can be recycled and reused."
"Can't ordinary crossbow arrows be recycled?"
"Of course it can be recycled in theory, but the strength of ordinary crossbows is too low. If they encounter some monsters with hard carapace or hit the monster's bones, they will be damaged. However, the fine gold crossbow will be damaged even if it is shot on steel.
It will not be damaged."
"Is there a more powerful crossbow arrow?"
"Of course there is. As long as some special formations are superimposed on the crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows can have magic damage and their power will be greatly increased. However, losing a crossbow of that kind of magic formation will cost dozens of gold coins, and it will cost dozens of gold coins to use it once.
It will be damaged, which is really not cost-effective.”
"Can spare Nu boxes be purchased separately?"
"Of course, it's very cheap. An empty Nu box only costs 30 gold."
The boss answered every question, tried his best to introduce the benefits of this repeating crossbow, and tried to sell this weapon as soon as possible.
The moon-chasing repeating crossbow made by goblins sells well among humans, but it is not popular among the elves who are good at playing bows, because even the apprentice elf archers can basically play with arrows.
The rate of fire is not necessarily much worse than that of a repeating crossbow.
In addition, the use of bows and arrows has certain strength and agility attributes, which will make them more powerful. When shooting arrows, you can also add certain spells to the arrows. Unlike this kind of self-winding repeating crossbow, the damage is almost completely fixed.
In addition, firing the repeating crossbow also wastes energy crystals, so after this thing was purchased, it sat in the corner for more than two years without being sold.
Of course, the elves look down on this repeating crossbow, but Li Xiao likes this weapon very much. Its power and ammunition capacity are comparable to that of a submachine gun. It is really useful for killing monsters in the early stage and upgrading it.
Although there are other repeating crossbows that are even more powerful and the price is nearly ten times lower, other repeating crossbows are manually wound and cannot be used without a certain amount of strength and stamina. Therefore, after repeated comparisons, I finally spent a lot of money.
I bought the Moon Chasing Repeating Crossbow.
Then he spent 150 gold to buy five Kongnu boxes, another 500 gold to buy 5 energy crystals, and then spent 300 gold to buy another 1,500 fine gold crossbow arrows, and finally spent 100 gold coins.
Bought 20 Life Fruits.

"By the way, boss, do you sell early warning devices for outdoor use?" Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the troublesome incident while resting in the wild.
"Of course, that is a must-have product for career changers to go on adventures in the wild. Do you want a large one or a small one?"
"Here, please introduce the price and specific effects."
"The large one consists of a core plus 120 formation rods. It can lay out a warning area with a diameter of 500 meters. The price is 2,000 gold. It is suitable for some high-level areas with strong monsters. The small one consists of a core plus 12 formation rods.
It consists of a warning zone with a diameter of 60 meters, which costs 250 gold and is suitable for early stage practitioners."
"Can there be an early warning for any monster intrusion?"
"Of course, the formation rod can sense the energy on the monster and will give an immediate warning if it approaches."
"Can someone flying in from the sky provide an early warning?"
"It is necessary. This is a kind of induction field for monster energy. Whether it is flying from the sky or drilling underground, it can be sensed and issue an early warning."
"Does this device also need energy crystals?"
"It is indeed necessary, but this thing is very energy-saving. A small warning device or a crystal can be used continuously for 20 years, and a large one can be used for more than 2 years."
"Since there is a warning array, is there also an array device that can destroy monsters?"
"Indeed, it does, but it consumes a lot of energy crystals. Using that kind of formation to deal with monsters will definitely make ends meet."
"Can't we use the eternal crystal?"
"It also takes time to restore the energy of the eternal crystal. If the energy is exhausted, it will take three or four hours to recover. The killing rune array consumes a lot of energy. It will exhaust the energy of the eternal crystal in just a few minutes, so if you want
Building a killing array that can never run out of energy requires a large amount of eternal crystals, and the price will be sky-high."
"Okay, give me a small realm formation."
With that said, he paid 250 gold coins and bought a small early warning device.
"Boss, do you have any meat for sale?"
"We are an elven tribe here, and we never eat meat."
"Then ordinary fruits should be sold!"
"Of course we have this. How much do you want?"
"The price is 30 kilograms per gold coin?"
"There are expensive fruits and cheap fruits. I have more than twenty kinds of fruits here. Thirty kilograms of apples cost one gold coin."
"Well, 5 kilograms of each kind." In order to collect more seeds, I deliberately asked for some of each fruit.
"Okay!" The boss quickly took out a lot of fruit from the storage warehouse.
"How much?"
"No need, I completed such a big deal today, these fruits are my gift to you."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, welcome to come again next time."
…
After leaving the grocery store, I was originally going to continue to add some mental power and go directly to the wild to kill monsters. However, after adding a little more mental power, although my mental state was boosted, I still felt a little sleepy.
It seems that allocating mental energy does not eliminate the need to sleep forever, it only provides some kind of mental stimulation and delays the time to sleep. Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to stay in a small hotel for one night, and it is not too late to go out to kill monsters tomorrow.
I booked a room in the only small hotel in the town. I was very sleepy at first, but when I actually lay on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.
It's not that I'm not sleepy, but I'm a little worried about falling asleep. I'm really worried that everything I'm experiencing now is just a dream, and once I wake up from the dream, I'll return to reality.
I am still the patient lying on the hospital bed unable to move. I have to be taken care of by others for food, drink and diarrhea. I live without any dignity and without any hope...
"If this is a dream, let this dream continue forever. Don't let me wake up. Don't let me wake up. Don't let me wake up..." I kept praying in my heart, but in the end I didn't.
Chapter completed!
